SUN IN CAPRICORN

In this post we are looking at the Sun in Capricorn.  Those born on the cusp of Capricorn/Sagittarius (you will have to go back to the birth chart for this information) will also have some Sagittarius traits.  The Sun has an orb of 16 degrees so you will have to see how many degrees into Capricorn (or actually any other sign of the zodiac depending on your cusp) to see the influence the preceding or subsequent sign has on defining your Sun sign characteristics.  The house placement as well as aspects to the positioning of your Sun will also have an impact on this very important solar link in your overall birth chart.  This being said, we will only talk in terms of the Sun being in the sign of Capricorn in your birth chart for this post. 

With the Sun in Capricorn at birth, you are a builder in terms of moving ahead in life pursuits.  Most Capricorns are very grounded and know precisely what steps are needed to move forward in life.  These pursuits are often based on material achievements particularly in building a solid foundation leading to success later in life.  Some reach their desired destination midway through life.  Others will reach this stage later in life, but one thing in common with Capricorns, the rise is slow but steady.  For Capricorn individuals, hard work and a steady approach is always the best route to reaching success.

Capricorn is concerned with things that matter and anything considered frivolous or of lessor importance does not hold their attention for long.  They reach for something that serves a purpose and has lasting qualities.  It is very important for the typical Capricorn that they are doing something worthwhile and significant in life.  They may not be like the Leo’s of the world (gaining recognition in ways that are known by everyone or standing out in the crowd) but recognition for a job well done even if it is performed behind the scenes is still important.  Success is earned and most Capricorns feel this way.  They will not take any short cuts or build on something that has a shaky structured.  They value the efforts taken by their predecessors and appreciate talent. They value other people’s opinions, but often in the end make their own decisions.

Many Capricorns are considered introverts and some even feel like they are alone in the world and suffer from loneliness.  They can be reserved and aloof in their nature and rarely show their true feelings.  Emotional responses at best are hidden and reticent, but this is not to say that they are emotionless.  They are far from it.  They just have trouble publicly displaying their emotional side.  If you can unearth this part of the typical Capricorn, you have done well.  Of course, much of these characteristics depend on the state and positioning of the Moon.  A Moon in one of the astrological water signs and with strong aspects will certainly do much to release these pent up emotions.

Capricorns are steadfast and very reliable and this is probably why they often succeed in life on one level or another. 

If you make a Capricorn your friend, they will stand by your side through thick and thin, but if you are unjust with them and hurt their sensitive feelings many Capricorns would be challenged to let go of this.  They hurt deeply and have a challenge bouncing back from adversity in life, especially any feelings associated with failure.  This would be a mountain to climb and this mountain would be ice covered, making any attempt to overcome this even more challenging.

Ask for advice or assistance and you will find a friend or colleague that rarely flounders.  They are almost as good at organizing lives as Virgo individuals, but whatever they build for others and for themselves will stand the test of time.
